US Naval Oceanographic Office upgrades Cray SV1EXSeattle 03 July 2001 The Future Research Corporation (FRC) of the US Naval Oceanographic Office will upgrade its Cray SV1EX system The subcontract with Cray calls for a 64-processor Cray SV1ex supercomputer upgrade to be complete in the third quarter of 2001 at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) in Stennis Space Center, Miss. NAVOCEANO currently operates one of the largest SV1-4 clusters in the world. The NAVOCEANO Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC) is a provider of high performance computing (HPC) services and support to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), supporting over 5,000 scientists and engineers engaged in DoD research and development activities.
NAVOCEANO also uses the Cray system extensively to support
operational Navy HPC needs to increase the safety and effectiveness of
U.S. Navy operations worldwide. This operational Navy support includes
acquisition and analysis of global ocean and littoral data to provide
specialized, operationally significant products and services for
defense, civilian, national and international customers.
This Cray SV1ex order upgrades NAVOCEANO's Cray SV1-4 cluster. The
order also includes an upgrade for enhanced memory, effectively
doubling the system's sustainable memory bandwidth.
NAVOCEANO also operates one of the largest Cray T3E
supercomputers in the world, with 1,024 processors and over 400
gigabytes of main memory.
